Malachi 2:14-17 ▼

14 And you? say, “For what?” Because that YHWH is a witness between you and between the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously, and she is your companion and the wife of your covenant.

15 And did He not make them one, and a remnant of the Spirit unto him? And what is the one? He was seeking seed of God. Therefore keep guard over your? spirit, and do not deal treacherously with the wife of your youth.

16 “For He hates sending away,” says YHWH the God of Israel, “And he who has covered violence with his garment.” Says YHWH of Hosts. You? must keep guard over your? spirit and not act treacherously.

17 You? have wearied YHWH with your? words. And you? say, “In what way have we wearied Him?” By your? saying, “Everyone doing evil is good in the eyes of YHWH, and in them He delights,” or, “Where is the God of justice?”
